I believe tutoring helps students develop a genuine love for learning. There are 2 characteristics a tutor needs to achieve this. Firstly, the tutor should have an open and friendly personality. Learning is inherently effortful, and having someone friendly to guide the process makes it more enjoyable and productive. Additionally, tutors need to…

To prepare for class and constantly check up on their progress. Students often need help outside of class, which lots of tutors do not provide. I am always accessible outside of class hours, ensuring students get help whenever they need it. Another important thing is to motivate the student. I always felt inspired to study after my sessions with…

I would like to answer this question from the student’s point of view. It’s not important for the tutor to know each and everything but what is important is that if the student is unable to understand a topic and the tutor is also not aware of it, it’s his/her responsibility to give that student the assurance that he/she will try to solve it…

Support them. Sometimes students just need that boost of confidence and support to understand. Frustration in their own learning can often end up being the reason why a concept is not being understood. I was an inclusion support assistant at a primary school, working with various kids with learning difficulties and disabilities. This has given me…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, make them feel comfortable and create a positive environment.

One of the most important things a tutor can do is help students see the significance and practicality of the concepts they are learning.

A tutor should be there when a student need help, no matter how big. While helping, the tutor should not feel irritated towards the student, but should instead try and put themselves in their shoes and keep trying to help them understand until they do.

I think the most important aspect of being a tutor is to assist students in coming up with their own interpretations, especially in english, by expanding their skill set.

The most important thing you can do for a student as a tutor is to give them the space the communicate.

Local Reviews

We are very happy with Thilac. He is very good with Zac and knows his stuff.
Kathryn, Teneriffe

Inside TeneriffeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Emily worked through adding, multiplying, and dividing fractions as well as converting between decimals and fractions for fluency.

In Year 10, Zoe focused on solving compound interest problems and practiced using the power law to simplify indices.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack revised calculus skills including finding derivatives of exponential functions with the chain rule and applied these methods to solve optimisation questions involving maximum and minimum values.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion was a recurring issue for both Year 8 and Year 11 students, with "amount of homework done due to assignments is still lacking," leading to gaps in practice—especially in algebra and statistics.

In a Year 10 English assignment, referencing errors and overloaded body paragraphs signaled difficulty organizing ideas under time pressure.

A Year 12 student working on calculus repeatedly hesitated to start complex problems: "did not know where to start… need to push for more engagement."

One tutor noted a Year 9 student's tendency to avoid writing out steps in logarithms, which meant calculation slips were hard to trace later.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Teneriffe noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to show her reasoning for problem-solving questions is now confidently writing out her approach, moving beyond just thinking through the steps silently.

In another high school session, a student who struggled with identifying errors during revision began recognising when to apply the chain rule while working through sin and cos calculations—something that had tripped them up before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often made mistakes with fractions started independently applying addition and multiplication of fractions correctly during their last session.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as New Farm Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like New Farm State School.
